  Junkies is exactly the right word for these people. They are mainlining j u n k all year long and they still believe that if they “sign up”, pay nothing and do nothing, everybody else will do all the work for them while they sit at home and cash the cheques (checks).

  The world of internet marketing is a very incestuous organisation with everybody doing everybody else out of money and common sense. Just like a drug addict has to have more and more to feed his habit, so the Internet Marketing junkie has to believe more and more lies from other marketers in order to explain why he is broke and maintain his high expectations of the next ‘best’ programme.

  Maybe we are simply too good an opportunity?

  Maybe we should introduce a constipated, triple turn over, limitless levels of depth, dual flux, rotating matrix?

  Maybe Internet Marketers (sic) aren’t up to the challenge of a real opportunity, dealing with real people in the real world making real money - not to mention that dreadful four letter word - w-o-r-k!

  Even the owner of the money machine has to work to keep it in the right place and in the right condition.

  I’m told you can get a free lunch from the Salvation Army but don’t count on it.

  Hi Arthur,

  Thanks for dropping in.

  Yep! It is amazing how virtual people become on the net. I wonder if it is anything to do with ‘escapism’ - a bit like playing a part in a Soap?

  I find that places like Adland are ideal for them. Some join to bully and swagger their way around. Others looking for the next free- lunch. All spending too much of their precious assets of Time and Money chasing the dream of untold riches through some on-line program which is likely to crash within 6 months or eventually implode.
  In between, they are buying and not reading the latest e-book tips and scripts, simply because they don’t have time for that and socialising.

  I find it very sad that many really intelligent people are overcome with life on the web. After all it is only a tool which can be used to your advantage - not an end in itself.
  Ask any duck (when it’s not flying) where its web is and the answer will be ” on the ground stupid”.

  I guess we will have a millionaire drop in and tell us of untold profits if only you join today and pay a few measly bucks to be spammed by the rest of the world who have done the same thing. Are there enough millions to go round all of us in this program?

  Of course there are enough millions for us all. They could not afford to share the “Big, Best- Kept Internet Secret of the Internet Guru” if that were not the case!

  Let me suggest to the once intelligent persons about to fall down the “Get Rich Instantly” black hole, an easier, and much faster way to achieve overnight wealth. In fact, it is all the rage around these parts lately. No website needed! (Make note, that I did say, SUGGEST not YEE HAW BUBBA) Back your pickup through the front glass of a convenience store, load up the ATM machine, and Presto-Chango! How much easier could that be? You are rich! You are also an idiot!
  It blows my mind to see so many people buying into this bullsh**! I know that somewhere along the path to see the wizard, someone must have reminded them of the old saying, “If it sounds too good to be truuuuue……..(My lord, I can’t bear to type the rest of that!) For those who really have not heard the saying before, email me and let me know what rock you have been under and I’ll gladly send you the next line. I will also enroll you in my new FREE program. (Send a 10 spot with the email and I will show you how to get stinking rich on ebay, overnight, for FREE for only 10 more dollars payable to each of my 65 downline hounds!)

  Hey, I think I may be on to something here.? Anybody want in on the next big thing? Get in now guys and you can ride the waves to St. Moneysville!!!!!!!! WooHoo!

  Come on folks…Come back to us now….Come back down to earth. We need you. Your family needs you. Get over it. You are burning daylight! Opportunities to make a million are everywhere. If you find your passion, run hard with it, and don’t let go, and don’t take no, the money will come. Here is a really crazy idea, but it just might work….Try being grateful for the things that you already have and watch what happens!

  Glad to have you back, buddy!
  Now get outta here! There’s work to be done!

  Chow!

  Hi Coop,

  Lovely to meet you here. What a great expose of real-life and with humour. Woweee…!

  Sorry to say that I will not be joining your latest whacky idea. The reason is you are not telling me that I can get ’spillover’ just for joining. Without that how am I going to make money?

  Moving on…. I thought it might be useful to others who are thinking of joining with you in the latest big Texas gold (or was it oil?) strike that this subject has also popped up in another place. A real (as in actually talked to about many things) friend of mine is asking questions about this.
  I include a copy of my post (just in case our readers think we are being too serious about the issue here.)……

  Passionate about your ideas? This is a complete recipe for disaster and bankruptcy.

  Not dwelling long over the history of people who were convinced that they had created something wonderful - even if it was ’still-life’ - I leave you with the thought that among the many who failed to grow rich in their lifetime were wonderful artists and composers passionate about their creations. Their legacy however has made a great number of business minded people very rich indeed.

  Business is about how you can capitalise on selling enough of something to others at the right price to make a profit and continue to do so AND GROW your business.

  Why do people buy from people and why should they buy from you? Good question Hmm….. I guess that to start we need to build a persona that allows people to relate to us and then over provide services or quality products. Of course if tempted to build a Walmart type of business you need to understand the mechanics of business and the many different skills you need to employ. Ask any business owner whether they have all the skills necessary to be successful and I guarantee the answer is no. What we all share in business building is a ‘resource poverty’ which can be a fatal ingredient in the early days.

  Finally without a plan and a structured approach don’t start. It is easy to start but difficult to grow. If there is no competition it is even harder. Make sure there is a market for what you want to sell. Develop a profile of your target areas. Build relationships with customers and suppliers. Work with others who could help you and vice versa.

  Many people confuse activity with results. It is not so. Work smarter not harder.

  Have a Great Day,

  Peter.

  PS I think it was a guy named Cohen who started Tesco in the UK. The original principle was ” if I can buy something and sell it cheap and in large volume before paying for it, I can build a business simply by adding more products and repeating the process.” The rest of the story as they say is history.
